On 4 July, the musician announced he would run for president on the Birthday Party ticket. His presidential campaign has been full of challenges, with the musician facing legal action from electors and accusations of being Donald Trump’s proxy. Rapper Kanye West claims he is ahead of Donald Trump and Joe Biden in Kentucky, where polls opened today for early voting. The 43-year-old posted a video on his Twitter showing the results of the vote on his phone and saying to “get the West Wing ready”, referring to the part of the White House, where the Oval Office is located. According […]
Every element of the criminal system is implicated in the failure to secure justice for Breonna Taylor. The cops, per the judge who signed off the warrant that set the events leading to Taylor’s murder in motion, likely obtained that paperwork using fabricated information. Shoddy police work saw Louisville law enforcement raid Taylor’s home despite the fact that the suspect they sought was already in their custody. The three officers who killed Taylor wildly fired more than 30 rounds between them into the darkness of her apartment, pumping at least six fatal shots into her body. They then ignored their own […]
The recent release of grand jury records on the Breonna Taylor case has highlighted a number of new questions surrounding both the police operation that killed Taylor and Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s overall handling of the case. Cameron’s office released redacted versions of some 20 hours’ worth of audio files from the grand jury proceedings on Friday. This came as a court-ordered response to the Monday filing of a motion which accused the attorney general of misleading the public following the announcement of charges on September 23, which resulted in the arrest of ex-Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) Det. Brett […]
Kentucky’s attorney general will release a recording from the grand jury probe into the death of Breonna Taylor, saying he would do so hours after a juror on the case filed a motion to go public with details about the proceeding. While state AG Daniel Cameron said in a statement on Monday that grand juries are meant to be “secretive,” he acknowledged that “public interest in this case isn’t going to allow that to happen” soon after a judge ordered the recording of the grand jury proceeding to be released this week. “We will comply with the judge’s order to release […]
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced on Wednesday that only one officer, former Det. Brett Hankison, would be indicted in connection to the March 13 shooting death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman. One expert tells Sputnik the emerging details on evidence provided to the grand jury proves “the whole system is broken.” Eugene Puryear, host of BreakThrough News and author of the book “Shackled and Chained: Mass Incarceration in Capitalist America,” told Radio Sputnik’s By Any Means Necessary on Thursday that the details surrounding Taylor’s case present the “perfect example of what people are saying in the streets about […]
LOUISVILLE—Protests over prosecutors failing to indict any cops for the March killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor flared up again here Thursday, even as the city was still picking up the pieces from an explosive night of violence and unrest. Less than 24 hours after Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a conservative Trump ally, declined to charge officers for fatally shooting Taylor, a Black emergency medical worker, during a botched attempt to serve a warrant, activists were out in force in Jefferson Square Park. Dozens cheered as protesters were released from a side door at the Department of Corrections adjacent the square—over 100 […]
LOUISVILLE—On Wednesday night, at least 20 members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, were observed guarding storefronts in downtown Louisville amid sometimes violent unrest over the lack of charges in the police killing of Breonna Taylor. The businesses included Bader’s Food Mart—which is also a Shell gas station—Stewart’s Pawn Shop, and Hampton Inn Downtown Louisville, all at or near the intersection of Jefferson and South 1st Street. All of the businesses, besides the hotel, appeared to be closed at the time. The heavily armed men—many bearing rifles, night-vision goggles, and wearing camouflage—were seen on the roof of Stewart’s Pawn […]
Sometimes there is a difference between law and justice. On Wednesday, Kentucky Attorney General Dan Cameron announced that a police officer would be charged in the shooting incident that killed Breonna Taylor. But the officer who was charged is not one of the officers who shot at her. Former Detective Brett Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing shots that entered a neighboring apartment where a couple and their five-year old child were sleeping. They were not physically harmed. Hankinson was fired from the Louisville Metro Police Department after the incident for violating policy that forbids shooting […]
Late in his monologue Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel brought up the bare minimum charges that were filed against the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor. “Many are upset. There are protests in Louisville and elsewhere as well,” the host said. “So the president, as he is known to do, took a moment to offer words of healing and unity and condolences to the Taylor family.” Asked earlier in the day if he believes “justice was served” in the Breonna Taylor case and to offer a “message to the Black community, who believe that perhaps justice was not served by the decision […]
When a Louisville grand jury chose not to charge any of the police officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor for their role in killing a 26-year-old Black woman, it was confirmation that, to many, my life as a Black woman does not matter. And as a native Kentuckian, that shattered me. I spent my early years and every summer in Southeastern Kentucky. As I grew up and moved around, I was made fun of for my “country accent” that eventually faded as I got older. But jokes never ended about my “country” upbringing and whatever myths people chose to […]
Streets in downtown Louisville have been blocked off and police put on high alert as Kentucky authorities announced they are charging an officer involved in the fatal shooting of an African-American woman in her home. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced on Wednesday that former officer Brett Hankison will face three counts of “first degree wanton endangerment” in the death of death of Breonna Taylor. Taylor, 26, was killed in March during a “no-knock” police raid serving a narcotics warrant. Protests over her shooting escalated into violence after the May death of George Floyd in Minnesota and the ensuing nationwide Black Lives Matter protests. […]

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron two weeks ago announced that a grand jury would hear details surrounding the police shooting of Taylor and that an announcement would be made when the jury had reached a decision. Tayor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was shot to death in her own home in March by three plain-clothes narcotics Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) officers conducting a no-knock warrant.

While the 146th Kentucky Derby was due to be held without fans on Saturday evening, the streets of Louisville were far from empty as multiple militia groups and dueling protesters faced off across the city. Hundreds of Trump-supporting militia members marched through the southern city into the path of Black Lives Matter supporters protesting both the March death of local EMT worker Breonna Taylor and the staging of the famous horse race. The coalition of far-right marchers were led by Dylan Stevens, who brands himself online as the “Angry Viking” and has made YouTube videos sympathetic to the far-right group Patriot […]

It has been 20 weeks since Breonna Taylor was shot and killed in her own home. And the cops who killed her still have not been arrested. “If you’re online a lot, you’ve probably seen Breonna Taylor being turned into just another meme,” Trevor Noah said on Thursday night near the top of the 12-minute segment he dedicated to her story. While the people keeping her name “trending” may be “well-intentioned,” the Daily Show host said they were “essentially using her name as a punchline.” “Memes are not the best way to honor someone who has passed,” he continued. “It’s the […]
Shots rang out in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday as hundreds of members of dueling militia groups faced off during a planned protest against police brutality. The march was initially planned by the Not Fucking Around Coalition—an all-Black armed militia founded by Atlanta-based rapper and DJ John “Jay” Johnson—to protest the death of 26-year-old Black woman Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville cops. The “Three Percenter” far-right militia group also called on members to be present to act as an ad-hoc security force during the rally, according to social media posts first reported by a local radio station. Johnson said in […]
In Kentucky, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear is facing a two-front war—one against the coronavirus and the other with the state’s GOP attorney general who is fighting back against his emergency efforts to curb infections in the state. The result has been a fraught mix of politics and public health at a key time in the state’s efforts to thwart the spread of COVID-19. And some in the state aren’t thrilled with the war of words between the governor and Kentucky’s Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron, as others worry that the legal dustup could cause confusion among the public. “It’s regrettable,” said […]

Breonna Taylor, a Kentucky EMT worker fatally shot in her home in March, died as a result of a politically-driven police operation “to clear out” a Louisville street to make way for a multi-million gentrification plan, a lawsuit filed by the 26-year-old’s family states. Taylor, who worked for two local hospitals, and her boyfriend were asleep in their apartment on March 13 when three officers executed a “no-knock” search warrant looking for a suspected drug dealer who lived in a different part of town. Taylor was shot eight times, spurring an FBI investigation and unleashing a wave of protests alongside the […]

LOUISVILLE, KY- After disastrous primary showcases in Wisconsin and Georgia, voting rights advocates turned their eyes to Kentucky amid national concern that the state’s Tuesday primary could be the latest to offer a troubling portrait of voting during the coronavirus pandemic. In the days before the election, hallmarks of what made other elections in a time of COVID hellish were unfolding: In Jefferson County, only one polling site, albeit a large one, was open Tuesday. That made the Kentucky Exposition Center the lone in person polling location for the area that includes the state’s largest city of Louisville. A similar scene […]
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear intends to ‘put dollars’ into ensuring all of the state’s African-American residents have healthcare, citing ‘inequalities’ in Covid-19 treatment – which was fully funded by the federal government. “I believe health care is a basic human right,” Beshear, a Democrat, said on Monday at a press conference in Frankfort. While he campaigned on providing it to everyone, “as I’ve been trying to hear from those who have been giving voice on in inequality …it’s time to give prioritization in black and African-American communities, so we are going to do that.” “We are gonna begin an effort to […]
